California Adventure (including Cars Land) Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun. Radiator Springs Racers is open during early entry, but Fastpasses are not available during this time. More info here.

We aren't going to DL until July, but MW has us so excited, we've nearly forgotten our camping trip which comes first in May, lol. Thanks to everyone for keeping the magic alive even though we aren't there :)

I have to say, I think our upcoming trip will be the best, thanks to helpful MW tips. Lilly Belle, rider swap, jungle cruise map, goat effect, WOC tips...the list goes on! Thanks to everyone for being so helpful! Any other "secret" things we should not miss?

Tigger tails an Cheshire Cat tails (chocolate dipped marshmallow sticks) used to be all the rage here for a while.. - CaliCanuck

The only tip I've given historically is about the iced mochas in NOS, yum. - NycSpike

First, yes, I am always up this early :). We're going in July w/a 6 year old & a 2 year old, so we're bringing our stiller (ugh) & his monkey backpack/leash to tire him out. Since he is so young, of course one of us will have to wait. My question is about rider swaps. Does the parent riding wait in line ( or the FP line) & ask for a swap before boarding? After disembarking? Can they be used like More...

For those that aren't local & stay at a hotel, do you power through the whole day open to close, or do you take off and hit the pool or something at some time during the day? With our boys we'll leave for an afternoon nap and swim, especially since it will be in July.

Plus, there is a bar at the pool, heh heh. ;) - NycSpike

We usually go back to the hotel for a couple of hours to rest. My daughter has three kids so they need some down time during the day. - Diznimom

I stay close and go back to hotel when tired. when you power through you miss out and you can always pick those people out of the crowd, their the one yelling at the kids every few mins. - GoofyJoe

So true, GoofyJoe! You can always tell which families haven't taken their afternoon rest--The parents get just as grumpy as the kids! There's a reason they take a ciesta - Spoonful_O_Sugar

Hello and Welcome! My 5 year finally got to ride it this trip. They pulled us from the line 3 times to measure him. And they didn't give us our spots back we got bumped all three times and people wouldn't let us back in line. I had to make the CM tell them to let us back in line. Funny he was just barley tall enough by their measure. I had him measured at the doctors office and he's 46 1/2 inches tall. I even showed them the picture. - vegasbrat
